Every month they would send out these auditing letters. They decided to expand the audit one year, but slightly change the letters. The new program printed out the subscriber's name, address, and medical claims on a standard form that would be heat sealed and mailed. The auditor was very picky (a good trait for auditors), so he had us check out the first batch, one more time, before it was mailed. We discovered that the programmer had somehow managed to print out the name and claims of one subscriber, and then the address for the next subscriber. Don't ask me how he managed to do it, but I'm sure glad that we checked!
